Bunding is a structure around primary containers such as drums and tanks as well as machines and other sources of potential leaks to contain any spilled liquid. Bunds can be a trench or a pit but are mostly in the form of a wall surrounding the risk area.

The main application of a bund is to prevent damage caused to people, property and the environment as a result of the primary container, such as a drum, failing.
